The Windows Server System Song
Jeff Swift was asking me about royalty-free music earlier today and the first thing that popped to mind was Richard Stallman's magnificent "Free Software Song" - Jeff thanked me for my suggestion, but pointed out that it wasn't very appropriate fare for a Microsoft blog entry... He was of course right as usual, but he got me thinking: Why not introduce my very own version of this timeless classic that is (slightly) better suited to a Microsoft blog? Without any more ado, I present to you the Windows Server System Song for your listening pleasure! (MP3 version here)
Run Windows Server System Software;
Time and money, admins, spend less of both.
Run Windows Server System Software;
Time and money, admins, do more with less---
Penguinistas get tons of free press,
Sad but true, admins, sad but true
Hippy freeware can't run an enterprise;
Not "good enough", admins, hold out for great---
If you buy Penguinista freeware
Support costs, admins, Kernels Panic,
Just fdisk that kludgey OSS
Windows Server, admins, ever more---
Run Windows Server System Software;
Time and money, admins, spend less of both.
Run Windows Server System Software;
Time and money, admins, do more with less---

6/21/05 note to Groklaw.net readers: I wasn't my intention to mock the FSF itself, so much as it was to mock Richard Stallman's taste in music and I stand firmly by that criticism :-)
